About the Exhibition

Carbon (Mwini) Mutuku
​
In this body of works, Mwini (Kenya, 1986) is researching ancient Egyptian symbols and their current-day meanings within the Kenyan and African setting. To what extent does this historic language influence modern society?

He uses laser-beams to amend the used materials, and adds therewith a contemporary dimension to these signs.

Eltayeb Dawelbait
​
Eltayeb (Kosti, Sudan, 1968) explores the depiction of the people he has met in his life, by using reclaimed materials.
​
By peeling and scraping off layers of paint, he tries to unravel the history of his subjects and reveal a glimpse of past life. By adding some paint and converting the original fabric, at the same time, he adds a contemporary element again.  ​
